On My Bookshelf: Downside Ghosts Series

August 23, 2013 by Michelle Leave a Comment

One of the best parts of my week’s vacation from work has been the time I get to spend reading.  I so rarely get more than a few stolen moments here and there to read, that being able to wake up in the morning, have a cup of coffee, and read for an hour is such a luxury!  As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been remiss in posting some of the books I’ve been reading lately.  So what better time than when I’m actually getting a chance to enjoy my leisurely reads?

About this time last year I started reading the Downside Ghosts series that had been recommended by a friend.  I read all three books that I thought made up the entirety of the series, but it turns out there are two more books.  Oh happy day – more to read!

The series centers around Chess, the main character, who is also a ghost hunter.  These books are part urban paranormal part mystery.  I started reading Unholy Ghosts right around my birthday last year and zipped through it in a couple of weeks.

I took a little detour after finishing the first book in order to read Gone Girl.  I don’t think I even reviewed that one either (where has my head been??).  Anyway, after reading Gone Girl I went right back to book 2 in the Downside Ghosts series – Unholy Magic.  I read this one in October of last year, and enjoyed it a little more than the first book so I was anxious to pick up the third book as soon as I finished this one.

And I started City of Ghosts in mid-November and it carried over into January.  And the length of time it took me to read this one is in no way a reflection on how good it was.  I finished this one just a few days into the new year and it was absolutely another great read from Stacia Kane.

I’m really anxious to pick up the next two books in the series, now that I know they exist – Sacrificial Magic and Chasing Magic.  And it even looks like book six is due out in October!

The caution I was given when the series was recommended to me is that the main character, Chess, is an addict.  You know that right off the bat, so it’s not spoiler-worthy information.  And while I can see that this would turn a lot of people off, it does really play into who Chess is and why she does some of the things she does.  Definitely well worth reading.

I have the first book in Stacia Kane’s Megan Chase series sitting on my bookshelf to read too.  If that series is as good as this one, I’m already sold!

**In case you’re wondering – polish is Theon’s 5, Essie’s Berry Hard, and Essence’s Edward’s Love from the Breaking Dawn collection.

So...this is happening. After finishing it the fir So...this is happening. After finishing it the first time, I had a little palate cleanser and read Thrall of the Vampire King (ending on yet another damn cliffhanger), but I can’t resist reading ACOSF again.

Fifteen years. Happy anniversary, my love. ♥️ Fifteen years.  Happy anniversary, my love. ♥️

You cannot possess me for I belong to myself.  But while we both wish it, I give you that which is mine to give.
 
You cannot command me, for I am a free person.  But I shall serve you in those ways you require and the honeycomb will taste sweeter coming from my hand.
 
I pledge to you that yours will be the name I cry aloud in the night and the eyes into which I smile in the morning.
 
I pledge to you the first bite of my meat and the first drink from my cup.
 
I pledge to you my living and dying, each equally in your care.
 
I shall be a shield for your back and you for mine.
 
I shall not slander you, nor you me.
 
I shall honor you above all others, and when we quarrel, we shall do so in private and tell no strangers our grievances.
 
This is my wedding vow to you.
 
This is the marriage of equals.
